NISI PRICS. THE KING V. MARY 'ANN TOOKER.- .This was an indictment against the defendant for a libel published in a Country Newspaper, called " The West. Briton and Cornwall Advertiser," upon the. plaintiff, Mr. R. Gurney the younger, Vice-Warden of the •Stanhary Court in this County of Devon.—The cause was no sooner ea . ll ed than the lady appeared in Caort as her own advocate, and was .accommodated at the . Bar rister's table. The pl ea di ngs uere opened by Mr. Wun. Mr. Sergeant Pau. then stated the . eas4; , hich, lie obsrveil, consisted chiefly in a charge made against the plaintiff, of .malversatiOn in the dis charge of a public office. He could not bring the merits of the question, which the Jury was now about to try, more shortly under their review, than by reading the libel itself, as it appeared in a public journal. It was addressed, in the form of a Letter, to the Editor of -The West Briton, and was in substance as follows :- - Sra,—The fact which I am about to communicate' may, perhaps, appear more-singular than important, althongh in times less calamitous than the present, the statement of any circumstance illustrative of the borough-mongering system, now universally execrated, must of itself excite an interest. It is something new in the history of this country that it should possess an out-[awed Judge. It might be called an instance unparalleled in the annals of Parope, if a case had not recently occurred at Vienna, of a Magistrate and Mini ster of Justice being sen!eneed to the punishment of sweep ing the streets. A gentleman of the name of Toinkin was some time past removed front the Office of Vice-Wardetr of the Stannary Court, its ordi r to make town for Mr.R. Gurney, son of the Rev. It. Gut hey, of electioneering notoriety. This last Gentleman, not. pet feet ly satisfied with, two considerable benefices, the reward o f f ormer services, on procuring this situation for his sou, obtained at the same time a promise that tlre salary should hi' uctupled, a promise which, to the honour of the patron, has not been fulfilled. Soou'after this. promotion of Mr. Gurney the younger, it unfortunately hap pened that he was obliged to leave the county in -which - he had been appointed to exercise judicial functions, and this , necessity arose trout pecuniary entbarrassmenta: In comse quence of this absence, a petition was presented to the ....ord Warden, complaining of the neglect and delay of justice, ocs casioned by this conduct, and desiring the appointment of a• new Vice-Warden, but no notice was taken of this represen tation. After this statement, it may be matter of wondur that be should still retain hit place ; and the fact can only be tract' eel to the famous borough-mongering system,tand to .pnlitical.. • motives.. Lord Yarmouth has lately purchased largely in tlie • borough of Treguny,witlo view of opposing the interest of the Earl of Darlington. Under this protection 4r4imrney-fotind• • it convenient to go to the t ontment, and was twice outlawed in the market-places of Plymouth and Dock'iwhich outlawry has not been reversed. Instead of attending his court, he was therefore iilsliged to secrete himself. -Now, Sir, 'afts.t . r this statement. no one can be at a loss to coejecture what are the . motives which operate in retaining thii imam ill a situation the duties of which he is unable to discharge. I inthearttoccopy- . ing too large a portion of your valuable and patriotic paper, or I could mention many anecdotes showing: lithe Mr. It. Gun.. ney and his son have rrolited in the school of corruption. I shall only add. that he demanded various sums of money from the suitors over and above the fees of Court, in the only two causes which he ever decided, .viz. 'Lopes v. Doubtfree, and Whitehair v. Webb. • _-• I am, Sir, " An Enemy to Corraption.' It was impossible, he apprehended, that a more injurious or libel could be published against the of any man. He should be able to prove the publication, not merely in the usu a l way, but by means of 'a subsequent letter addressed to the Editor; in which the libellous flatter was distinctly acknowledged. The brother )1' the defendant. had been secretary to the Vice- Warden, and upon his information she had ten- ['tired to charge Mr. Gurney with bribery and corruption ; and with the specific act of ex ! tolling twenty guineas from the parties in a cause which he refused to decide till the sum in question was paid. The worst - part of the libel it still remained for him to- state. It was contained in a subsequent letter, and must fill every well-regulated mind with a sensa tion of disgust. The defendant thought proper to instruct the Editor that Mr. Gurney hall been outlawed, that this outl a wry had not been reversed, and that he was incapable of bringing an action. He was sorry to see a lady of an understanding and talents so conspicuous in the situation of the present defendant ; hut he felt 'himself bound to say, that no slanderer had ever aimed a more deadly blow at the reputation and character of a Gentleman. The detendacq, he understood, would be her own advocate, and was a woman of no ordi , nary understanding. He had to lament that she did not make a better use . of • the faculties with which Providence bad been pleased to gift her; it was not too late to make atonement,. although that atonement must follow a verdict of . guilty. He would not dwell with any peculiar emphasis upon the nature of a newspaper publication, Pe cans.. he thought such publications most import ant and beneficial to society ; but he would state, that in his opinion the surest means of preserv ing that invaluable - blessing was, that the' free than which it involved should not be abused. Mr. E. Budd, the Editor of The West Briton, was then called, and deposed, that the defendant had in conversation acknowledged the' original statement to be her own. He received it by the post, but had subsequently seen her, and in ta►k ing.upon the subject she had admitted the former writing to be her own. It had been submitted to him with a discretionary power of altering or omitting such passages as he might deem unfit fur publication, and he had accordingly. made consi derable alterations. He had certainly received a pledge from Captain Wootridge, of the Navy, the brother-in-law of the defendant, that 110 prosecu tion should. be instituted for any letter, except that which was printed in The West Briton. .The Lady now rose, observing, that she stood there with reverence, but without fear. Fear, indeed, was the inseparable concomitant of guilt, and of any offence in a moral view her conscience . entirely acquitt e d her. She did not appe ar t h ere personally from any feeling of presumption, but: from. her inability to procure Counsel. That inability ,Was caused by a debt doe. to her brother, which the. plaintiff refused to ;; " pay,. and her own disinclination to encroach on the comforts .of a widowed.. parent. She mitt be. indiscreet,_ but she was not conscious of crimi nality. It was the first time that she had ever. entered a 'Court of Justice, and no person. could - entertain a deeper sense than herself of rise excel lence of that enlightened system of jurisprudence '~iilticli was establisheri in this cOubtry i . The pro. sgeblitor - Would, however, deiii - e his chi4'adrati... f:Sge frO'ni het' ignoeariee ate LiW; 16r Shiconld only'take the . phin'and''siMple .'round ordenying the fateehriodind'oralicechargeil in ti,e indictment.

(Here the-Lads , read an extract lion) the reported speech of the Chief Justice, touching the license ofAiscossing the character and 'conduct of men in -public offices. The main point on•which she.remed,her.defence was, that Mr. Gurney was a public officer, and that she, and every other subject, Ivereentitled to examine his conduct iu that capacity. She was fully prepared to prove the truth ofeverystatement contained in the published: letter.) Mr. Justice Bengotton---That the law of the land does not allow y6u to do. The defendant proceeded; expressing a hope that she might atleast'be alloWed to prove that the publication in question was 'no libel. • The Jury, she trusted, would riiit be induced by any legal sophistry to sanction a principle equally ad. verse to religiotrand• to morals - --.that - truth could be a libel. It was - the dOctrine not of the law, but of the abetters of tyrrany, ever vigilant to en slave mankind. : Vengeanc.e, not the vindicatinn of character, was •the, unworthy and unmanly motive of the, prosecutor,... ad lie .been act pate:l by h better feeling, be.....w0u1d. have brought his aCtion,, in which as ,afaWyer he most have known that eiiidence produied wins regard to Every fact stated in the "ptitilication, — 1-W had ) IthweVer, adopted tbeeriiirardlyresource of indict ing a female Toi'an:l36f Tendilif to . a hi-FM - jar the peace ; lehimself haVitik; 'lot - look since; been sentenced tO'six menebte in 'lst' the COurt'of King's , Bench, Ei -poSitive• bre‘teh of the 'peace in hortewilippingthe , present-Solivitor.

Miss Tucker continued, and begged leave to read a clause:of. the Act of-the 32d of George the Third,, by which the Jury, 'in a case of libel,. are empowered to give a verdict on the whole mat ter, and on the.general issue, of guilty or not guilty. Mr. Justice BURROUGH.---This Act was never construed to enable a defendant, upon an indict. ment, to justify by proving the truth of the libel. Miss Tucker proceeded, and reniarked, that the essence of the indictment . consisted - the evil tendency of the publication. This tendency; she was prepared to show, was good, Cud would con tend that resentment might exist without' malice. The celebrated Mr. Locke had quoted an expres' , sion from Sr. Paul to this effect—" Be ye angry, but sin not.'' 'lf the law of libel really was what she bad heard it interpreted to be, a new system,. •of ethics ought to be prefixed to it. No lawyer or legislator could intend to punish where there, was no malicious.,motiie or intentional prgvoch ! i tion.
